Healthy Pancake Parfait

Who doesn’t love pancakes?  Best. Breakfast. Ever!  I’m not going to lie, there were times when I was younger that I would eat them for like a week straight.  My mom can attest to this.  Pancake binges y’all!

When you’re trying to keep it healthy it’s definitely a tough cake to make taste good and fluffy.  Now, you could use some of those Paleo and gluten free mixes out there and get a decent result, but I typically notice an after taste in those, or don’t really care for some of the added ingredients in them.

I just needed to make my own damn healthy pancakes if it killed me.  After much experimentation with different flour combos, I have done it.  And since I love my husband so darn much and his favorite way to eat pancakes is parfait style, I dedicate this recipe to him.  He also may have earned it because he ate pancake after pancake until the recipe was right.
